Well I bought another mustang for cheap that is good on gas. I have found 2 other turbocoupe's for cheap that both run. Want to leave one stock and put a v8 in the other since the motor is blown. I dont want to dismantle this car for a V8 swap because it is way too nice. Again this is just a theory.
1988 Thunderbird
130k original miles
2.3 Turbo
Automatic
Topend recently rebuilt, new head, valves, etc;
Car has a boost controller set to 15psi right now but can be adjusted higher or lower
3:73 gears
Dual flowmaster exhaust.
K&N air filter
These are the only modifications to the car.
Car has every option available for the year.
Digital climate control
Sunroof
Dual power seats
Auto-dimming headlights
Keyless entry
Much more...
Car is really nice and for the past 2 owners it has been kept inside as it is now. Unfortunately the car has some very light hail damage that is hardly noticeable but for that the insurance company gave it a salvage title. The dash pad has some cracks. Other than this the car needs nothing else!!! I do not have to sell the car.

Price would help huh? lol
Would like $4,000 but will listen to offers.

Cool stuff!!!!!
You just got this, I'm suprised you're thinking of getting rid of it already. I wish I was in the market for one because this is a beauty!
Thanks. Price is negotiable.
Cars come and go, I get bored easily. I will have another. Actually the next one I have lined up will get a turbo 351 or something along those lines so its still technically a "Turbocoupe"
That sounds cool. I guess I get too attached to stuff.
Sorry guys when I said "all options" I forgot about leather which the car obviously does not have.
Believe it or not I have had my t-top mustang for almost 5 years now. Longest I have ever owned a car, I know if I sell it I will never find another to replace it.
christmas bump
I love that color.... GLWS!
so..... what happened, did you sell it or trade?
Still sitting in my shop on jackstands. Can't find the time to install the new cam.
I may be confusssed,
in the lounge 88dirtybird announced he was taking delivery of your car. its late, i may just need sleep.
catch me up on this when you can.
Finally has a cam again. Intake going back on right now. Should be up and running tonight.
She is off the jackstands! ! !
Car is done aside from the timing being set. Will sell like it is....no desire to work on it anymore
will take $2500 + atv trade
well !!!!
darnit
man, wish you'd stayed n touch.
actually, i should say whats wrong? sounding kinda down in the dumps.
Just losing interest in the car. Time to move on I guess. Got back into dirtbikes and 4 wheelers so the car has been sitting WAYY too long. Time for someone else to enjoy it.
your not making any sense,, you got a prestine TC that everyone is pretty much in love with and wishes they have.
Im in the middle of a purchase on a Sport now,, was wanting to pick yours up but the timing did not work out i guess on your end. I thought you had sold it then we saw it up for sale on a site somewhere and now were back here.
Tax time is coming, so maybe someone will enjoy if you really want to sell.
Is it running good now?
I still dont see the hail damage you spoke of.
Thanks, it is a nice car. It needs the cam timing set and its ready to go. may get it set this week. The hail damage is very minimal but it is there. hard to see unless you get down level with the hood, trunk, or roof and look across it.
Car needs to go, no more room to keep it and no desire to work on it. Asking $2,000 the way it sits. Needs timing set to drive. If you bring tools to set timing you can drive home.
Is the car that ugly? lol
Can't even get a lowball!
It's not ugly at all. There's one just like it locally that looks just like yours that I'd love to have. 1 owner 91k miles $2495. Unfortunately the funds aren't available at the moment. I actually posted it in the leads section.
Seems like there is not much interest in these cars anymore
I think it's just location. If it was closer it'd want to come take a look at it.
If my finances weren't in turmoil from my lunatic wife, I'd be taking a trip down there with the car trailer. Looks like a sweet car. You got it on Craig's list? I wouldn't think it would be that hard to sell it even with the economy being upside down and all....
I dont mind a 3 or 4 hour trip to deliver the car to someone who isn't going to tear it up. A guy on another forum asked about it and in his PM it said "I need a dd that I wont be scared to hit a deer in" I told him the car was not for him.
Its not on craigslist
I wouldn't tear it up, but it would be a DD.
Well meet ma halfway! ;) lol
Get it while its cheap cause once its up and under its own power again the price will go back up.
HOLY FLOCK!!!!
yeah,, you told him right.
you should really keep it. seriously.
If you have still in the next few weeks, Ill check back with you.
Im waiting on delivery of a sport and man,, i wish we would have linked up initially. That car is exactly what I am looking for. Its even the rare gold, atleast thats what tom said about the gold tc's. theres one up here but its really kinda used so to speak.
whatcha mean by "timing set"?
you mean timing belt or reset the dizzy and the belt or what?
Distributor will probably need to be reset along with the cam timing.
ttt
I'd be intereted in it. Looks like a really nice price for the car. You're just a little to far away.
Seems to be what everyone says. To the top!!
that car is close to everyone when it comes to condition. Mine's coming out of Utah as a 1year resident before living in AZ all its life.,, imagine the condition.
I have found ZERO rust in this car. Somebody needs a good solid rust free TC!
Will trade for motorcycle also.
Come on I know some of you got deep pockets! Think of it as "improving the economy" lol
Location is a big thing. :/
I can work with you some on delivery. Rather not drive more than 4 hours.
What kind of motorcycle you looking for?
Some kind of street bike. Dont mind if it needs a little work.
I am in ashville next week, could swing by if your around.
Well , no street bike. My dad has an old Kawasaki he's looking to get rid of, but its more of a Harley style bike.
Yes sir I will be here just give me a call when your ready. Week after that i will be in Florida, Like to get rid of the car before then.
ok,,
LIkely monday early departure to Charter Ashville, then move on to Charter Shelby NC.
I am pretty sure I need to come a looker for now, I dont have the full 2k,,err,, I do but its not an appropriate thing to do at the moment. I cant see this car going outside the family,,someone needs to buy this car soon.
do you know why the cam went in but the timing is off? that doesnt seem like something that would be wrong when doing a cam.
maybe we can get it running...just gotta map you out to my trip.
Messed with it some last night, cam timing still off a tooth. Might get around to finishing it next week.
ttt
good thing you are far away from me :flip: I would be all over this one and the wife would probably put me in the ground for doing so lol
I think LiveFast is going to put the next person who uses this as an excuse in the ground, lol.
You have 4 now, whats one more going to hurt? She probably wont even notice it. lol When she asks where that one came from just play it off like its been there the whole time.
Went to the shop today, be back friday and I will most likely raise the price back up and drive it til it sells. If not, I dont mind keeping it.
Drove it for a couple hours today, Probably going to keep it!
I think you should, it's a beauty!
I agree
